Week 7 of ultra marathon training was great. I could hit almost all the number of kilometres this week. Here’s a brief recap. Monday I couldn’t wake up in the morning because the previous day we were out till late for shopping. And also due to the current heat wave, it causes a sort of fatigue which inhibits the ability to wake up early. Early for me is 4 or 4:30 AM because if it is later than this time then it gets too...

Week 6 of ultra marathon training was fantastic. And I received the long awaited book by Dr Douglas Graham – 80 10 10 Diet. I am very excited to read it. This week, I could stick to my training plan to the ‘T’ and felt wonderful. So, here is a quick run down of how my week 6 training went. Read : I Made Myself A Training Plan For 100 km Ultra Monday Monday morning I did a easy 7 km run, which was followed by...

What does an easy day look like? It should be easy, duh! If you are a runner, then chances are that you had been told by very many learned people that have easy days in your training or easy days are an important component of training regime. But we still keep messing it up! In past, I have made mistakes on this very aspect. I always lingered in the NO MAN’S LAND. It resulted in overtraining in forms of reduced performance, flu,...

Did you watch the attempt to break the 2 hour barrier by Nike? They failed to do so but achieved an amazing feat nevertheless. Read : Nike’s Sub 2 Hour Shoe – Reality or Fake? Anyways week 5 of training didn’t go great. But I still had fun. This was the first week of Base 2 phase or the 5th week of training. In this phase I introduced hill running.

I love beer! And I love running! Almost any ultrarunner will say this. Ultra marathon is someway synonymous to beer, right? I used to be a whisky drinker some years before I dove into long distance running. The time I was training for my first 100 km race, somehow, organically I will say, became a beer drinker. I don’t know why! And it was not because of what generally ultrarunners drink! I was attracted to it like a fly...

4 weeks of training for this year’s ultramarathon is over. One month done and five more to go! Yeah, it’s awesome. I am nearer to my goal race and I am so pumped! The time flies so quickly. I am sure that after the race, it will feel like it was yesterday when I was making all the plans and writing training week updates. So it’s been a week that I have converted to being a vegan. That means I have cut out meat, dairy...

I have an announcement to make. It’s very important for me and for the ones around me. But first let’s look at how my week’s ultramarathon training went by. Week 3 : 17 – 22 April 2017 Monday The week started with an easy 6 km. The last weekend beers still had it’s effect on me and I didn’t feel that great. Monday blues maybe! I felt a strange shivering of sorts till after the run. But it went away...

It’s different this week is the title of the video I made for this week’s training for this year’s ultramarathon. Hence the title for this post too. And it is not SEO friendly! But let it be. The video of this week is a musical one and you may enjoy it. Anyways, about this week’s ultramarathon training. A low mileage week. If you see the week’s workout, the longest run is of 10 km. It is the Base 1 phase...

The first step of success in an ultra is a sound training plan to tame the eccentric mind! If you had read my post on future running plans, then I had mentioned that I have two 100 km ultra marathons lined up for the year. Keeping that in mind, I made myself a training plan for 100 km ultra. Bdw, there is a video at the end of the post on the what I have written, so check that out too.

I started blogging sometime in 2012. It was on a free platform then. I had also started running in official events around the same time. I wanted blogging to provide me with some extra money or pocket money, to be honest! Fast forward to 2017, I now have a blog with a paid domain name and have yet to get my first $100 check from Google. But I am still blogging! During initial phases of my blogging, I wrote poorly worded and structured...
